I Think there is no secret that I love things that are a bit different. That makes you feel unique. So I was very happy when I got a new pair of boots last fall. Just love them:
Yellow is not exactly my color but I love the print and the bright colors and the pairing with teal green. I have a pair of dark green jeans that work great with them, I have a
Butterick 6492 that also works great and my winter fluffy coat has green/yellow/cream, but still not many things in my wardrobe work with them. so I decided I need a few additions.
I first did a Style Arc Madeleine top that I had 2 muslins and some alterations done at the end of the summer and never actually got to make it and thought it would be great pattern for a solid:
I added sleeves to the pattern and tweak it a bit to better fit me.
And I also had a teal-green tweed that matched the boots so nicely and decided to make a quick mccalls 6844 cardigan to wear at work when I get cold:
I went with the same changes as in the
navy scalloped version - minus the scallops.
Here is the result:
I also did a quick set for Eva using the ruffles dress pattern:
Sewing 158 - Shopping 141.
Wow, ce pot sa zic, minunatGeorgia, nici nu stiu cu ce sa incep (imi place tot): bluza ta galbena, cardiganul sau tinuta Evei! Mie imi place cum iti sta cu galben, ai avut si cu ce sa asortezi, iar cizmele, oooh, cizmele...Felicitari draga mea!
ReplyDeleteMerci mult Izi!
DeleteI love your top! and your jacket - and your boots! Such a fabulous outfit all together! ♥
ReplyDeleteThank You so much Ellen!
DeleteLove the outfit! I need the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteDid you draft the sleeves or incorporate another style arc pattern?
Thank you for the PR review.
I used the sleeves from Butterick 6492 as the starting point and had to take the top in a bit of the shoulders to get a better fit. I would recommend you to try with a knit fitted sleeve for this top.
DeleteThese boots are so fun! The green and the yellow are perfect for them, and I love the waist details on the top!
